Trifecta

You gotta love baseball in September and the very long Phillies/Nats and Astros/Pirates games last night along with the dramatics by Albert Pujols against the Padres were about as good as it gets.

My column this week on Baseball Prospectus deals with triples in the wake of Carl Crawford's 15th triple hit last Sunday making him the first player to hit that many in three consecutive seasons since the banner offensive season of 1930. You'll also want to check out this fine article by John Walsh on triples published earlier this season.
